Taking Cairns of Business
Four players battled their way into a four-bet pot preflop, and they all found themselves looking down at a flop. The action went as follows:
James Metcalf (big blind) - bet
Kenny Hsiung (under the gun) - raise
Malissia Zapata - fold
Daivd Cairns - reraise
Metcalf - call
Hsiung - cap
Cairns - call
Metcalf - call
That's an awful lot of action, isn't it?
So they saw a turn and Metcalf checked. Hsiung bet again and both players called. The action was the same on the river.
So, showdown time.
Metcalf: for an overpair
Hsiung: for a set of nines
Cairns: for a set of tens
With that enormous pot, Cairns broke the magic 100,000 mark - he's at 104,800.
